Catch SportsDay On Air twice per week on Fox Sports Southwest, when Dallas Morning News experts discuss hot sports topics from the Cowboys, Mavericks, Stars, Rangers and colleges (check our TV listings for air times). Here are a few highlights from Monday's episode featuring Rick Gosselin and Mike Heika:

On what fans should expect from the Stars this season:

Heika: “I think you can
expect a really exciting team. I think what Joe Nieuwendyk did was he
brought in people who fit Glen Gulutzan’s style of coaching. Last year,
you had guys like Steve Ott, Adam Burish and
Sheldon Souray, who didn’t mind getting in fights and what not. What
you’re going to see now are people like Derek Roy, Ray Whitney and
Jaromir Jagr, who are going to be more skilled. We want the puck. We
want you to commit penalties because you’re chasing
us instead of we’re chasing you.”

Gosselin: “I think this
is a playoff team because I love the goaltending. This is a good
defensive team and what they needed to do was score more goals and when
you add a Jagr, a Whitney and some of these young
guys getting a year better, they’re going to score more goals. I think
they’re going to be in the mix.”
